The value of solar data services for low voltage network operations

IEEE Smart Grid will host a webinar on the utilisation of solar forecasting data for proactive management of low voltage (LV) networks.

The webinar will present three cases studies from Australian low voltage network operators (DNSPs - distribution network service providers) who have been given access to high-resolution solar forecasting data for the purposes of evaluating the use of the technology for LV network management.

The second and third use case are closely related, and
demonstrate how behind-the-meter solar forecasts allow LV network operators to
generate more accurate gross load profiles, so that the underlying true demand
can be estimated at the zone substation level, by combining these data with
SCADA measurements.
